A special piece of equipment on which a patient can easily be rotated by a nurse, used for patients with spinal injuries.
A structure that holds the patient on a bed; it can be rotated into different positions while keeping the patient’s body from moving.
A device that supports two rectangular pieces of lightweight but strong material so that one side is on the anterior surface of the patient and the other is on the posterior surface. The patient is sandwiched firmly between the pieces of material. The device may be rotated around the patient’s long axis. This permits turning the patient without his or her assistance. After a turn is completed, the uppermost portion of the frame can be moved away from the patient.
